And Shakespeare was doing reboots too - his was at least the *fourth* Romeo and Juliet.

Odd bases will have numbers ending in “2" that aren’t even. Base 3 for simplicity:

The first one, yes. Foundation and Empire had a plot and characters, and is the only one I even vaguely remember.

I just discovered I’m not gray, after more years than I can remember. Maybe there’s a conservation of grayness effect.

If she hasn’t reached it already, she’s going to hit menopause and be separated from that “aspect of womanhood” any day now. But then she probably does think that makes you “less of a woman”.

We do have “Naked and Afraid”, although just out of camera range are the people who live there: the semi-naked and not impressed.

Yeah, I had to scroll back up to verify that yes, this is about toxic exes. Block and move on, they never get better. Maybe just tweak the article to be about bad breakups that weren’t toxic?

KOTOR tried, but too many of the Dark Side options weren’t so much evil as stupid. You can be nice to a shopkeeper, get Jedi points, and he’ll be helpful when you come back. Or you can kill him and get Sith points, and make your life more difficult.

$1 doesn’t make the news. $5M may not get any money, but it gets attention - like leveraging the Streisand Effect for good.

There’s a run of Nero Wolfe books that include trivia about the author in the back.

Cheesecake Factory is where you go when you have a large group of people who can’t decide on a restaurant. You say “cheesecake” and that cuts through the argument, and then there’s enough variety in the non-dessert part so that everyone is equally slightly disappointed.

“because let’s face it, you didn’t come here to read about the Fitness+ updates”

That’s supposed to be peanut butter? I could never identify the flavor, I just remember it being nasty and hard to chew.

I used to walk my dog through a Silicon Valley suburb full of cars just sitting there unoccupied and “warming up” in the morning. We’re talking mid-50s on a typical winter day; they didn’t even need to take that much time to warm up the interior.

Now the granddaughter needs to play Susan.

It’s very easy to tell if it’s Universal if you haven’t installed Rosetta: they don’t run at all. It’s not installed by default.

Bootcamp is just dual-booting, and when you’ve booted into Windows it’s the same as running on any other Intel hardware. So the Intel part is a hard requirement; emulation, which is what the VM companies are doing, is your only option.
